Pakistan: Before former Prime Minister of Pakistan and supreme leader of Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) i.e. PML-N Nawaz Sharif reaches Pakistan, his party has decided to approach the Lahore High Court (LHC) for his bail. After Nawaz Sharif was declared a fugitive, the party has taken this decision to avoid his arrest at Lahore airport.
However, it is not clear when PML-N will approach the court for Nawaz Sharif’s bail. Pakistan based Geo News has confirmed this citing The News.
According to Geo News report, senior PML-N leaders, on condition of anonymity, said that the party’s legal team will approach the Lahore High Court (LHC) for bail a week before Nawaz Sharif returns to Pakistan. According to reports, the decision to approach the court was discussed with Nawaz Sharif, Shehbaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz in recent meetings held in London. According to sources, an application for protective bail can also be filed in the court just two days before Nawaz Sharif returns to Pakistan. In the bail petition, the party will request that the PML-N supremo not be arrested for seven days.
Maryam Nawaz has been acquitted
According to Geo News report, PML-N’s legal team may say in the petition that Maryam Nawaz has already been acquitted in the case in which Nawaz Sharif was convicted. Let us tell you that Captain (retd) Muhammad Safdar and Maryam Nawaz were acquitted in the case, in such a situation the PML-N supremo may get relief.
Nawaz can also address a public meeting
Party sources believe that if the court approves the bail of Nawaz Sharif, then the PML-N supremo will not go to jail immediately after reaching Pakistan and he will also be able to address the public meeting organized at Minar-e-Pakistan. It is noteworthy that Nawaz Sharif is going to return to Pakistan this month (21 October) after 4 years of self-exile in Britain (UK). It is known that Nawaz had gone out of the country on medical grounds in November 2019 after being granted bail for 4 weeks by the Lahore High Court. Since then he has not returned to Pakistan.
